Red Dead Redemption 2

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a triumph in world-building, character craft and downright skulduggery. Being bad has never felt so good as Rockstar toe the realism line while still keeping their sharp, trademark tongue in cheek. It's the keen attention to detail where Rockstar succeeds and this outlaw prequel comfortably outperforms their best works and in time, I believe, will be regarded as a once in a generation game.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is Rockstar's greatest achievement to date – an epic Western masterpiece set in a phenomenally-detailed recreation of 1890's America. Top-notch acting across the board brings its beautifully-written cast of characters to life and the riveting central story is surrounded on all sides by an almost endless array of deep and satisfying side activities that serve to further ground you in the life and times of Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang. A must-have title for your Xbox One.

Few worlds are as well-realised as the one Rockstar has created for Red Dead Redemption 2. Thanks to some wonderful scripting and stellar performances, the characters you randomly meet in the wild are captured as well as the ones you spend most of your days around camp.

With some compromises, and a 30 FPS cap, Red Dead Redemption 2 is an ace-in-the-hole!

A gorgeous world with so much to explore awaits everyone. It's not without some faults, and those with older spec'd PCs may have trouble running this. If you've got the rig to handle it, it's a wonderful experience.

An emotional, thrilling tale told like no other, Red Dead Redemption 2 tells the story of one man’s pursuit of loyalty. Arthur Morgan, a wrong-doing but right-minded cowboy, raised by Dutch Van Der Linde after his parents left the picture. For over twenty years he’s been following Dutch blindly, and now maybe he’ll find out who the guy really is.

I am possibly one of, like, six people who had never played Red Dead Redemption prior to the re-release of the game on more modern platforms. As a result, these new ports did look interesting at first glance, at least to me. I even had a sizeable amount of cashback credit on my eShop account to bite the bullet without paying a stupendously idiotic price tag asked by Take-Two, deemed “totally fair” by its CEO. So if you are here looking for a nostalgia-filled love letter to the original re...
